I visited this place... with my wife, Mrs. H. It was her choice and decision to come here- full disclosure: I’m not sure that I remembered or knew anything about this place from my knowledge of French history. We had been to Versailles in 1982 and I had read on TripAdvisor (hey-is there anything else that I do?) about the crowds and lines at the other place, so this became our destination. The palace is included in the Paris Museum Pass and the entire round trip journey is included in the weekly Navigo Decouverte pass. Total extra cost then for this excursion: zero zip zilch effes. As you know from reading my previous review, we departed from Gare de Lyon. Our train was cancelled and delayed, so we had some extra 30 minutes of waiting time (and you can see my photos of that to know what I did and saw during that time). So we took the 40 minute train journey and the city bus (passing a sign regarding a historic synagogue that we did not visit). The mansion boasts 1500 rooms and it is obvious that only a section is in use for exhibition. Mrs. H and I had a disagreement as to whether we visited either forty or fifty rooms. At the entrance, there are key pad lockers to store your stuff- be sure to do that- it makes the wandering quite bearable. Now overall, the place and the palace and the building and all the rooms and all the amazing stuff on display are quite remarkable. But the lighting leaves quite a lot to be desired- maybe the goal is the actual illumination during the days and era when the place was in active royal use. As is known and as is stated in my headline for this review, this was the famous and beloved and very frequented palace and royal residence of the one and only Napoleon Bonaparte himself (see my reviews and photos of the magnificent painting of his coronation in my Louvre review and my comments and photos of his sarcophagus and tomb in my Musée de l’Invalides review- both submitted within the last month or so (December 2019). Anyway- being a person quite interested in history and who simply loves and craves being in historical places, this visit was outstanding and amazing and breath taking- primarily because- and I admit- I didn’t know what I was going to be seeing. So now I am about to ruin the shock value for you- read on, my friend. The rooms and the stuff in them were amazing and unbelievable. To chance upon an amazing historical piece that I did not expect- so exciting and incredible- leaving me almost breathless- and here are four of the things: Napoleon’s original tri cornered hat!! What’s more incredible than that? I spent some time posing for many selfies with that hat prompted squarely on my patê (you can see his hat in my attached photos, but don’t look for me in my photos submitted here though). And then his guest rooms and the bedroom and baby cradle of his beloved son, and stuff of his wife and then- so amazing and what a fantastic surprise- his throne room with his throne chair, his bedroom with his small bed (hey- Wikipedia says that he was 160 centimeters- not so bad), and then the document room, where he resigned before going into exile. All of this and more were amazing- causing Mrs. H to start sending me WhatsApp messages again, to extract me (just as she had needed to do in the three Monet museums of Marmottan, d’ Orsay and L’Orangerie). Once she succeeded in forcibly extracting me from reveling at being in the very presence and location of iconic Napoleonic history, we went outside to the top of the gardens and lake. Yes- we saw the rowboats. After that, we departed. So please sign up follow me on TripAdvisor to see of my continuing Paris adventures. So please enjoy my many photos showing what I’ve described. And hey- doesn’t this very extensive and detailed review deserve a “like” from you?

A huge selection of shops, restaurants and cafes under cover in a spotlessly clean mall with a huge supermarket too. This really is everything under one roof.

Although this Disney theme park, originally named Euro-Disney, was met with protest following its opening in 1992, Disneyland Paris is now frequented by large crowds drawn by technologically advanced rides and attractions.

First of all, my family and I try and visit Disneyland Resort Paris every November when we can. Christmas time is the best time to go as there are less people, more rides to go on and lots of different evening entertainment such as the Mickey and Minnie’s tree lighting show! All of our trips are amazing every time we visit. I am very happy to visit any time. I definitely recommend staying in the Disneyland Paris Main Hotel. You know. The one with the clock on the front and to the entrance to the Disney parks. The service is great and the rooms are outstanding although they are planning to redo the hotel because of it’s age, it will apparently be open on one side of the hotel and the other side will be closed for maintenance as for 2020. I don’t tend to order room service as we have a brilliant breakfast in the Disneyland Hotel breakfast buffet and take some meat, cheese and baguettes for lunch so you don’t need to spend more money on lunches at restaurants throughout the park which will limit the times you have on the rides. The park is very big and for your first time can be quite confusing but you can pick up a park guide with your package, in the city hall or Hollywood Studios services. You will easily be able to find your way around once you are used to the layout. Most of the rides are dependent on your height or age but most of them you don’t need to worry about because the majority of the rides are aimed at younger generations. For Hollywood tower of Terror, Indiana Jones and the temple of doom, RC racer, Aerosmith, Star Wars Hyperspace mountain and other thrill rides height restrictions are important so don’t ignore them before you get into the queue. My recommendations for little ones are.... Slinky dog, The adventures of Ratatouille, Peter Pan’s flight and many others. My recommendations for older kids and teens.... Big Thunder Mountain, Phantom Manor, Pirates of the Caribbean, The toy soldiers parachute drop, RC racer, Star Wars hyperspace mountain and many others. My recommendations for adults.... Hollywood tower of terror, Aerosmith, RC racer, Star Wars hyperspace mountain, Big Thunder Mountain and many others. Hopefully you have found this review very helpful and please share this to help others looking for a nice family holiday!

A new addition to Disneyland Paris that celebrates cinema.
Reviewed By Kgirl00 - Hollis, United States
We had so much fun at the Walt Disney Studios park! We are frequent visitors to Disney World in Orlando and wanted to see how Disney Paris was in comparison. Although the parks were smaller than the ones in Orlando, they're still Disney through and through! What a great experience. We loved riding all our old favorites like Rockin' Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror, and then we thoroughly enjoyed all of the ones that are unique to Paris, like Ratatouille and Crush's Coaster and more. The weather was meh that day but it didn't matter. We had a great time!

La Vallee Village has become a 'must-visit' shopping destination just outside the fashion capital of Paris. The Village has 115 luxury outlet boutiques offering significant reductions on the recommended retail price. Visitors can browse French brands that include Bonpoint, Sandro and Eric Bompard. Additionally, the international brands represented include Armani, Jimmy Choo, Marni, Moncler, Tommy Hilfiger and UGG(R) Australia. Other brilliant features include a personal shopper service and Espace La Vallee(R), an art gallery of changing exhibitions. Guests arriving with children will appreciate the children's play area and the fact that the Village is only five minutes from Disneyland(R) Paris, and is connected to many Disney(R) hotels by a dedicated shuttle service.

7. La Tour Cesar
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 717 reviews
Built on the edge of a rocky spur at the beginning of the 12th century, the tower protects the former Earl’s Palace and dominates the valley. The tower is a potent symbol of power for the Earls of Champagne. The keep’s highly complex layout gives it a unique, massive and powerful appearance making it one of the most original stately dwellings of its time. The new scenography will take you back in time to give you a glimpse of the everyday life at the tower eight centuries ago. It used to be a watchtower, a prison, a bell-tower, and a place of military retreat. The keep offers a panoramic view over the town and its surroundings!

Provins is worth a half day stop by on the middle age cory and specially in the Cesat Tower. It's a fantastic piece well maintained that keeps a medieval atmosphere.

The only criticism I have of the sea life centre in Paris some of the English translations aren’t quite right however they make full use of interaction and I found it very informative and I’ve been to a couple of sea life centre is around the world. Definitely worth a visit if you going from Disneyland use the RER to get to Val d’Europe and then it’s literally walking straight down the shopping centre and it’s right at the end at the bottom of the stairs. Fortunately when you come out there is a load of food shops there. Very friendly staff in both English and French.
